Hi Taco,

SINGLE IMAGE vs MULTIPLE IMAGES
A single image loads faster than the same cut into separate images. HTTP requires a new connection to be made to the server for each file (i.e. image). Even when the single image filesize is the same as the sum of the individual files, reconnecting to download each file introduces noticeable 'lag' (obviously more noticeable on dial-up than cable).

Cheers,
